WEAVER AND TERRY PLAYING
FINE BALL FOR SOX
By Mark Shields
Fred McMullin is a fine fielding
third baseman and able to do his
Dart of the hittine. but it is doubtful 6)
if Manager Rowland will shatter the
combination he now has working at
third base and short
Buck Weaver is playing a sterling
bit of, ball around the difficult cor
ner, gloving everything that comes
in. his direction, and the longer
throw across the diamond is to his
advantage, for Buck has a powerful
arm that is just suited to the extend

nearly so many wild throws as when
he is stationed at short
Weaver goes to his right or left
with equal facility and the clean-cut
manner in which he dashes in and
picks up bunts and slow rollers down

amount of ground toward short, and
this gives Terry an opportunity to
place himself nearer the second bag,
where he can cut down hits that
usually skid through that section for

throwing is marvelously accurate.
This fielding prowess of Terry has
long been recognized, but he was
billed as a weak hitter. Zeb isn't
smashing any fences, but his hits are
fairly frequent and a goodly propor
tion of them are made in the pinches,
